I mean, the Wendigo has been used in numerous ways over the years, and in much worse movies than a Predator sequel specifically about Native Americans. Hell, the commonly known depiction of the a wendigo with antlers stems from a fairly crappy early 2000s horror movie. And need I mention The Lone Ranger movie? :laugh:

It's absolutely heartbreaking as a Predator fan to see the franchise be hollowed out and used as a vessel for divisive "progressive" politics instead of focusing on a story that all of us can get engrossed in.

Film is dead, Socialism turned it into propaganda instead of entertainment. The timeline got darker as of now.

Is he credited as playing a Sasquatch? ;D

Speaking of Sasquatches in "Skulls", I found it humorous reading IGN briefly trying to decipher Dane DiLiegro's sasquatch reply to Jeff Cutter's Instagram post:

Yeah, it seems he's trying to be cheeky there, but I'd say it's probably not his best decision...

So...2nd Predator, Sasquatch, or Bear?  I know the article said that he could very well be our main Predator, but then why would there be two of them.

Who knows, both Kyle Strauts & Dane could both be Predators, either in joint Predator duties since they are the same height... or it's not a sole Predator hunting story but rather a dual hunters story like in the comic series "Predator: Hunters III"... or perhaps Kyle Strauts is a Bear-Sasquatch-whatever-Predator backup and Dane has main Predator duties (or vice-versa).

It seemed like someone other than Dane and Kyle was donning the Bear practical fx suit though. I guess we'll see!  :)

Oh, the possibilities.  This secrecy is just  :(  I suppose it could be that both Kyle and Dane are sharing the main Predator role.  Though the idea of two main humans fighting two main Predators (in possibly different subplots) would be interesting.

I would hire two performers, for sure! A twisted ankle here, a broken wrist there... there's just too much risk (to me) to hire just one performer that can don the suit while shooting on-location in the wilderness of Alberta!

Sasquatch is boring honestly. Make it a Wendigo for Generation Meme bonus points. I know it's not the right tribe btw, but it doesn't have to be their monster.
Wendigos are a part of religions that are still used today so that's a no go
Why is it a no go? It's not like there haven't been films or stories which feature religious iconography. Not trying to be blase, genuine question.
Because it would be insulting to a culture that has already been shat on by Americans far too much?
OK, I can understand that. I'm coming at this from a non American perspective, and I'm not trying to be insulting in any way, just in case this comes across as insensitive. I'm just trying to understand your automatic 'no go' regarding wendigo.
There have already been many films, stories, games, and other media which have featured wendigo. There have also, as I said, been many films and media with other, existing, religious iconography. Since we know that this movie stars Native American actors, then why couldn't it incorporate the mythology and legends, including the wendigo?
Now, the wendigo may not be Comanche lore, but, as far as I'm aware, we're not 100% sure that it's definitely the Comanche that are depicted in Skulls, and I also wouldn't put it past the studio to mix up Native American folklore.
Since your points include it being insulting, and that it's an extant religion, I still can't see why they wouldn't do it. This isn't my own personal opinion, I'm just thinking of movie studios. There are plenty of films made which could be classed as insulting to extant religion, but they still get made, so I would be surprised if a movie studio automatically rejected the concept of including a wendigo.

Yeah because no one ever takes their requests to not include their religion in Media seriously, it doesn't matter if the Tribe being represented in here is the right one, they don't want their folklore to be part of our media, specially as some stock monster, it's basically culture appropriation

It may be pop corn entertainment. But in a way it shows audiences something related to a culture. I could bet that if a movie about Norse deities use Viracocha as a being part of Norse cosmology, people would already be complaining and all. Hell! I've seen people claiming that a WWII movie with zombies can't have black soldiers because it's historically inaccurate, and Polish people being picky about The Witcher. We must be empathetic, but aye! I must admit that I base my comment on anecdotal evidence observed here on the site and on the internet.

Although the mythological concept has diverse origins.

I'd fake hire a bunch of people to throw off the media and mess with people like us.
Like hiring a (famous) actor, make him sign an NDA and then release a picture of him in a familiar setting or with some known item from whatever franchise.
When people are riled up enough, I'd do it again.
